    In the 80's, life was not boring. Playing outside was fun. Climbing trees, hiking, running around the block, hide and seek, making paper planes, bubbles, red light green light 1 2 3, exercising... These are just some of the activities children at that time experienced which resulted in creativity and learning through socialisation which taught life lessons and how to interact and appreciate others. Technology added and improved upon this in some regard but there were also some drawbacks as with most things in life. This series is a great idea and this video is great. Keep it up!

    Surprised he didn't know the printer uses thermal paper, and that old stock has long since degraded beyond use, hence the image not printing well.

You can hunt down new thermal paper for cash registers of the same width and get images printing again.
